STRATEGIC REVIEW On November
15, 2022, the Board of Trustees initiated a strategic review
process to identify, evaluate and pursue a range of strategic
alternatives with the goal of maximizing unitholder value (the
“Strategic Review”).
By way of update, the Board is pleased to report
on the following:
WHOLLY OWNED ASSET
DISPOSITIONS: The Trust has listed for sale all its Wholly
Owned Real Estate Investments and is pleased to report on the
following:
Texas: The Trust has a Purchase and Sale Agreement
(“PSA”) in place for one of its properties located
in Austin, Texas. The disposition price for the property is
approximately $12.6 million. Net of associated mortgage debt and
closing costs, the sale would generate net cash of approximately
$8.8 million. Expected closing of the sale is anticipated to be
prior to the end of Q2/2023. The property disposition has a sales
price in line with its IFRS value. The Trust has one other property
in Austin, Texas and two properties in Houston, Texas which are in
various stages of sale;
New
Jersey: The Trust has a PSA in place for its property
located in New Jersey. The disposition price for the property is
approximately $19.5 million. Net of associated mortgage debt and
closing costs, the sale would generate net cash of approximately
$5.6 million. The expected closing of the sale is anticipated to be
prior to the end of Q2/2023. The property disposition has a sales
price in line with its IFRS value; and
Florida: The Trust’s property in Florida is under
negotiations to be sold.
JOINT VENTURE ASSET
DISPOSITIONS: The Trust has listed for sale its Joint
Venture Real Estate Investments located in Maryland as both the
Trust and its partners have decided it was an appropriate time to
exit the respective investments. As of today, one of the Maryland
properties is under negotiations and one is being actively
marketed. In terms of the remaining joint venture properties
located in New York, Connecticut and Georgia, the Trust has decided
with its partners to hold these investments until such time that
the respective investment can be adequately monetized.
PREFERRED CAPITAL INVESTMENTS:
As at March 31, 2023, the Trust has two Preferred Capital
Investments located in Texas and South Dakota that aggregate
approximately $5.1 million. The Trust continues to hold these
investments and earns income at 10% and 12%, respectively. Both
investments are current in terms of their interest payments.
The Board will continue to assess matters on a
quarterly basis and determine if the Trust should: (i) distribute
excess income; (ii) distribute net proceeds from asset sales, after
debt repayment; (iii) reinvest net proceeds into other investments;
(iv) distribute proceeds as a return of capital or special
distribution; and/or (v) use excess proceeds to repurchase Trust
units in the marketplace. It is the Trust’s current intention not
to disclose developments with respect to the Strategic Review
unless and until it is determined that disclosure is necessary or
appropriate, or as required under applicable securities laws.
